Sword of the Black Prince Edward in bronze and gold trim (Black Prince Sword Bronze). Edward, Black Prince, Prince of Wales (Woodstock, June 15, 1330 - † London, June 8, 1376), better known by the nickname Black Prince (because of his armor), was the eldest son of King Edward III of England and his wife Philip Hennegau.
To this day, the Freemasons still use swords and rapiers for their traditional ceremonies and rituals during the so-called Temple Service. This Masonic sword features a comfortable grip made of cow horn with brass wire wrapping. The pommel and the nicely shaped guard are made of brass. The symbol of the cross adorns the center of the guard. The high carbon steel blade is unsharpened. Owing to specific rituals which require keeping the ceremonial sword raised for a longer period of time, its weight was purposely kept as low as possible. Delivery includes a matching leather-bound steel scabbard with locket, chape and belt hook made of brass.
